About
Oliver Salo is the co-founder of Packetra, a privacy-focused hosting provider with infrastructure in Finland and Switzerland. He has sixteen years of experience in the web hosting industry, with a focus on EU jurisdictions, data sovereignty, and anonymous infrastructure for businesses operating under GDPR. Packetra was founded in late 2025 around the conviction that hosting jurisdiction is no longer a technical footnote but a core compliance question for European businesses. The company offers shared hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud VPS, and dedicated servers, with cryptocurrency payments via self-hosted BTCPay Server and a no-KYC signup policy. Oliver writes on EU data protection law, the CLOUD Act and its extraterritorial reach, Schrems II implications for hosting customers, and the operational realities of running infrastructure under different European legal frameworks.
